Abstract

Depictions of legendary creatures are common in ancient art. Among these fantastical beings, the griffin is a combination of an eagle, the ruler of the skies, and a lion, one of the most powerful animals on earth. Griffin depictions emerged in Mesopotamian art around 3000 BC. In later periods the griffin was a popular image an increasingly widespread. It was a cross-cultural creation, especially in the areas surrounding the Mediterranean basin. This article is a typological and iconographic evaluation of griffin depictions in the light of examples from various geographical regions.

Özet

Antik dönem sanatında, fantastik varlıkların tasvirlerine sıkça rastlamaktayız. Bu varlıklar arasında göze çarpan grifon, göklerin hakimi kartal ile yeryüzünün güçlü hayvanı aslanın birleşiminden oluşmaktadır. M.Ö.3.binyıldan itibaren Mezopotamya sanatında ortaya çıkan grifon betimlemeleri ilerleyen dönemlerde özellikle Akdeniz havzasını çevreleyen bölgelerde giderek yaygınlaşmış ve kültürler arası bir yaratıma dönüşen popüler bir figür olmuştur. Bu makalede, zaman içerisinde gelişim gösteren grifon betimlemelerinin değişik coğrafyalardaki örnekler ışığında kronolojik sıralama dikkate alınarak tipolojik ve ikonografik açıdan bir değerlendirilmesi yapılacaktır.
